This is brilliant thank you! I didn't use the VBA code to sort a-z, i just used the table sort function.
My range formula: AllSites: =OFFSET(AllSites!$B$2,,,COUNTA(AllSites!$B:$B)-1)
My data validation formula: =OFFSET(AllSites!$B$2,MATCH($B9&"*",AllSites,0)-1,,COUNTIF(AllSites,$B9&"*"),)
My range formula: AllSites: =OFFSET(AllSites!$B$2,,,COUNTA(AllSites!$B:$B)-1)
My data validation formula: =OFFSET(AllSites!$B$2,MATCH($B9&"*",AllSites,0)-1,,COUNTIF(AllSites,$B9&"*"),)
